Yanko’s on tour with Turnover and Balance & Composure playing Berkeley so we snuck in a mid-tour check up over some Dunkin. He got a Dunkalatte. First time in about a month we’ve all caught up since Yanko hit the road and Sammy and Brond wrapped the UK Just Friends run.

In the second segment Sammy goes suit shopping for his wedding and gets called fat by some San Francisco stores. Brond did a photo shoot for Mother Selene with Kay Dargs and somehow made it look easy.

We wrap it all up with a mailbag because the people demand it. Music in this episode: - The Juice Intro by Glom - Panic by Cheap Appeal - Nine Pin by Digital Thought (Mail Bag) - Love It by Halo Davis (Outro)

UK trilogy: complete! Three episodes, one tour, too many questionable snacks, and unforgettable moments. This episode of The Juice is the full debrief.

We just wrapped our first-ever headline tour across the UK, and now we’re back in the Bay: grateful, emotional, maybe still jet-lagged.

- Every show? Broken down. - Food? Yep, way too much. - Shoes? Discussed & admired.

Highlights? Fans singing the riffs back at us (you made us feel like rockstars). Brond got us a hawk walk in Ireland. YES! We had a hawk land on our hands next to a castle. Wild.

Oh, and Sammy showed up with cold Taco Bell chicken nuggets, more science experiment than snack. Brond kind of liked them. The sauce? Suspiciously like Cook Out. We ate them anyway. Obviously.

We’ve got a special twist too! Producer and off-camera legend Danny DeRusso finally joins us on camera.

This one’s a thank you. To the UK. To the fans. Thanks for showing up, singing loud, and making it real. We’ll unpack our suitcases eventually.

Recorded just a day before we hopped the pond, this episode is a Central Valley special. We’re joined by Ben from Just Friends, along with Bart and Logan from Chain: the full 559 crew in effect.

We dive into what it’s like commuting for hours, not just for band practice, but also to pile into a van and disappear for a month on tour. We unpack the legendary, steaming green mystery that is Pea Soup Andersen’s. And then it gets real: from touring the U.S. and hotel habits, to van hierarchies and the weird little rituals that come with living in a 15-passenger box with your best friends and your collective body odor.

In segment 2 we attempt optimism very cautiously. We talk about what we’re excited to eat in the UK (spoiler: yes, it involves beans at breakfast), whether British hotel rooms will have more than one electrical outlet, and what kind of emotional collapse might happen at our acoustic set at Banquet Records.

Rounding it out w the most epic mailbag one could ever hope for, narrated live by DJ Chuck Salad in the flesh. We open up the bag and it’s bursting with greatness. These questions? Straight outta our beautiful Bay Area Party People Discord, and they brought the heat like a Stockton summer.

This is Part 2 of the UK Invasion Trilogy. If you missed Episode 1, go back and do your homework. Episode 3 is coming and it’s not wearing a seatbelt.
